Fellow Polish developer, Techland, created a deafening buzz with a CGI trailer for Dead Island - a flawed but very popular RPG survival-horror.

Did CD Projekt Red take a leaf out of Techland's book when approaching the console audience and attempt to 'woo them with a video'?

"We started working on our intro before Techland made the Dead Island trailers," Michal Platkow-Gilewski told Eurogamer. "We admire what they did, it was great work, but it's not the case that we saw that and said, 'Wow we have to do the same.' Especially as, you know, killing people in our CGI - if it played from the end to the beginning in reverse order that wouldn't look so cool."

Badowski said the video was commissioned for "the fans" to fill in a story blank and show the first assassination that the game's Assassins of Kings subtitle refers to.

"It was of course a great asset for the console game," Badowski said, "but in terms of the storyline."

And, he added: "This movie is around four minutes. It's too long as a regular trailer."
